mat hudson Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 90mm+ on the mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Mother of god, and i thought they were joking when they said trials frames would become one tube. One step closer with that amount of BB rise, its crazy. Might be good to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipkickbs Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 They look pretty ming really, just excess weight for the sake of being different. But 90+ bb ride!!!! thats insane, that would be the most deceiving bike in the world, everything would feel tiny, and then you would go over the bars. Stick with tried and tested, not untried and mingin Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length will mean you have to tap everything and it will only hold you back"I loved peoples reactions when I first got my Koxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way (I demand a test) How the hell can i say that??? because top companies who have done months of research into frame geometry have determined the correct bb rise for their frames, i.e, not excessive like the frames pictured, Any company can jump on the high bb bandwagon, but those frames just take the piss. and the fact they look foul aswell makes it even worse.

SQuiT-man Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 The stock just looks like a vario to me, is it the same? Probs a good bike though.The mod on the other hand looks sweeeeeet to me! The forks look uber long to me in that picture, reminds me of echo pure stock forks or smoething. With long forks/high bars, I dont see why that high a BB wouldn't help make sidehops huuuuuuuuugeeee®. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Looks different, different headtube different middle bitdifferent rear endIts not the same, looks simelar though so therefor on trialsforum it MUST be the same frame with a different badge on it.

SQuiT-man Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 It's not the same, but you have would have to be blind to say they don't look really rather similar.The main differences I can see are a tiny gusset near the headtbe on the vario, and different CNC bit on chainstay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 It's not the same, but you have would have to be blind to say they don't look really rather similar.The main differences I can see are a tiny gusset near the headtbe on the vario, and different CNC bit on chainstayAnd the headtube and the different tube profiles, and the different angles of the tubes and the bb rise.Loads of differences, though not all going to change the ride of the frame.
